NOWHERE TO RUN
I read a lot of things I've seen in the papers
and they went right through my head.
Robbers and killers and midnight rappers
who will get you in your bed.
The world's not safe for living in;
There's too much hate and too much sin.
Got to get help from the new world shapers
or it might just be too late.
Gimme a line on the telephone;
Come on baby, don't make it alone.
No-where to run, no-where to hide
Can't stop you doping, you still think I'm joking; such a shame.
You know I love you, I'm thinking of you, you and me.
I heard a lot of tales about heavenly dopers
who are trying to make a break.
Know a lot of folk who are daily smokers
'Cause they just can't take it straight.
Reality can be a strain;
There's too much hate and too much pain.
Got to get some help or the air will choke us
or it might soon be too late.
Know we've got problems with the air,
Too many people who never care.
No-where to run, no-where to hide.
Can't stop you dying, I'm still gonna keep on trying; such a shame.

WITHOUT YOU
Without you, couldn't start the day, babe;
Without you - I wouldn't stand a chance,
Without you - the sky would be so grey, babe.
I just want to be within you, close enough to feel within you.
Without you - I'm crawling on all fours;
Without you - the room has got no doors.
Without you - the stars don't seem to shine, girl;
Without you - it seems so hard to smile;
Without you - my life don't seem so fine, girl.
Just because I really love you, I want you to know I love you.
Without you - no reason I can see for living.
Without you - there's nothing left to me for giving.
Without you - I cannot smile no more;
Without you - I'm left flat on the floor
Without you - the days would be too sad to handle.
Without you - my life is just a burned out candle.
Without you - the days would be too sad for living.
Without you - there's nothing left for giving.
Without you - all the minutes pass me by like hours.
Without you - I'm just like a grave without the flowers.

IT'S GETTING HARDER
It's getting harder, babe, to love you,
It's getting harder all the while.
And if you want me, tell me; all you have to do is smile.
It's been a long time since I've seen you,
Looking straight into my eyes.
And if you want to leave me, it'll come as no surprise.
I tried to hard - to make a home for you.
Tell me straight now, what am I supposed to do ?
It's getting harder, girl, to love you,
'Cause you're treating me so cruel.
But if it's over, tell me; I don't want to be the fool.
I tried too hard - to work our problems out.
So if it's over, honey please don't drag it out.
It's getting harder, babe, to love you,
'Cause our lives have grown apart.
If you don't want me, tell me; I don't want to break your heart.

YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY
You're driving me crazy, you're driving me mad;
You're making me lazy, you're making me bad.
You know you're no good to me,
But you're the best woman I've had.
You lose all my friends,
You scare them away;
It looks like the end, babe,
Of living my way.
You know you do me no good,
But then I hope that you're going to stay.
You ruin' my health, you use me too much.
You've blown all my wealth, you cripple my crutch.
I know I'm playing with fire,
But then I like what I feel when I touch.
My mama, she warned me - about your kind;
My friends all scorned me, they say I'm blind.
But then I know what I like, and,
Babe I like it with you all of the time.
They call you a witch, they say I'm a fool;
They call you a bitch, say you're really uncool.
But, babe, when I get on you,
YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY
You're driving me crazy, you're driving me mad;

It's just like getting a kick from a mule.
LOOK INTO MY LIFE
Come into my head, tell me what you see;
Just another dreamer trying to be free,
Look into my life and tell me what you see,
Just another schemer searching for the key.
Just another trucker, just another bum,
Just another jumper always on the run.
Come into my brain, tell me what you find;
Just another searcher scared of going blind,
Look into my life and tell me what you find,
Just another tripper blowing out his mind.
Just another joker, just another tramp,
Just another flyer heading up the ramp.
Come into my love life, tell me what you feel;
Just another hustler trying to be real,
Look into my life and tell me what you feel,
Just another trapper trying to break the seal.
Come into my mind, tell me what goes on;
Just another picker picking at a song,
Look into my life and tell me what goes on,

LOOK ME STRAIGHT INTO THE EYES
When you get through telling lies,
Look me straight into the eyes.
When you get down to the core,
Tell me what you want me for.
When you've played your little game,
I will still be just the same.
When you've got what you came for,
Don't forget to close the door.
If you like I'll nod my head and grin,
I'll pretend that I've been taken in.
Speak to me before it is too late,

I WANTED TO BOOGIE
Well I wanted to boogie so we got in the car
Well I wasn't too choosy but then soon we got far
So we stopped in a club and we had us a drink
Well it wasn't too long and just what do you think
Well I wanted to boogie and the band they came on
They were both very pretty but I don't like the song
So I went for a walk and I followed the sound
And I came to a party and a lady I found
Well she smiled real sweet and she said you're a peach
So she wanted to take me for a walk on the beach
And she told me the breeze as it come from the sea
Keeps your hard on all night and you can meet it with me
Whew !
Well I wanted to boogie but I wasn't too sure
I f I wanted to do just what she wanted me for
So I said I'm with friends and I haven’t a dime
So she turned 'round and said, well come and see me some time
Well I wanted to boogie so we kept on the move
And we looked for a place, we could go in and groove
So we went to the Playboy and we hadn't got keys
So it cost thirty dollars just to go in and freeze
So I wanted to boogie but the hadn't come
We decided to sleep and then get up with the sun
So we headed for home and it didn't take long
So I sat on my bed and then I wrote out this song
Boogie, boogie - My,my,my,my - my,my - Wow !
